Santa Claus ain’t comin to town

It’s that time of year again! I’m already tired of Christmas shopping.

You know, you think you know someone…until it comes time to buy them something and you realize, “What the hell does this person like?” You go around searching from store to store, seeking out the perfect gift that will make hearts stop & jaws drop. But, there’s always that dreaded scenario that plays in the back of your mind while you’re browsing the socks and scented candles: You’re handing that person your gift, a gift that you searched 10 different stores for, and which, by the way, you nearly killed an old lady over. But she had it coming, right? She had no reason to beat you over the head with her cane. Anyways, it took a good chunk out of your wallet, but you don’t care, because it’s all in the good spirit of giving. They happily take your gift, quickly tear through the beautiful wrapping that took you a good 15 minutes (with clear tape too, none of that frosted Scotch mess), and then…boom. They stare at your gift & suddenly get that look on their face that says, “Um…is this it?” Then they smile, fakely of course, and go about opening their next gift as if what just happened, never happened. Then it hits you — you’ll never get that chunk of your wallet back. You could’ve very well given them a gift card to Target or something. Because it’s way less trashy than Wal-Mart.

Anyways, if you’re wondering if the above incident ever happened to me, it didn’t. Knock on wood. I still have many gifts left to buy, but alas! I’m running low on moolah. Big surprise, no? This is where a job would come in handy…

Oh yeah! While on my gift shopping excursion, I made my way into a few perfume stores & completely fell in love with Paris Hilton’s perfume. Omg. Damn that woman to hell! I’m gonna get it…if I don’t spend all my money on other people first.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I made this collage of Lupe Fiasco yesterday. I love it when I feel inspired. I can be in Photoshop for 3 hours straight. Too bad this only happens once in a blue moon. -_-
